my Brooks played basketball at Stanford, where she also earned her MBA — a skill-set combination that is paying big dividends for her work as an NBA senior vice president.
Brooks, who has worked in the league’s team marketing and business operations department for the past six years, was named head of the division this summer. The new role calls for her to manage some 40 employees who help drive business at all 30 NBA teams.

“We are fortunate to have a great foundation in TMBO, and I’d like to double down on some areas like analytics and innovate in some new areas in the arena experience,” she said.
“We are fortunate to have teams that are eager to share best practices.”
